Are there rules for how long a web site name should be? It's time for me to choose a web name/domain name (are they the same?). Of course I chose the book title first because I didn't consider this step and nothing I want is available unless it's really long or so not the title. Anyone familiar with www.godaddy.com or www.register.com?

I think there are rules re: com or gov or org. You have to be a non-profit or such to use org. Some coms are used up so the provider gives you a net. Yes, I used register to register my site names. Did you research to see if your intended name is parked somewhere? There's not much else I know!

All the gurus say to get your name.com. Unfortunaltely, mine is already taken. Domain names are fairly inexpensive so you can get a couple of variations and have them all directed to one website. This is helpful if people would easily mistype your URL.

Great info. Kathy, you have web site clients? The book title is GOT TEETH? A Survivor's Guide How to keep your teeth or live without them. I will try the title with a dash - didn't even think about that. Did try BITE ME but it's taken (porn site); shoulda known. I'm going to try more and get back to you. I have questions about my web site. Can I email you?

All the GOT names are taken and have been since GOT MILK appeared. The hyphen is taken. These are the .coms I thought of that are still available: toothgirl, yrteeth, urteeth, toothwars, gotteethsurvivorsguide (too long) getthenitrous - my favorite and my war cry saundragoodman - my author name but who cares I have no one to talk to about this. Thank you for helping.

Forgot to mention that all my life people misspells my name SAUNDRA. Spent my life saying WITH A U...WITH A U! When I moved to Florida I tried to get a license plate that said WITH A U, but it was taken. So everyone will misspell it on a webiste, I'm sure.

Saundra, I've been building websites for ten years, you can see my site here: www.CrowningTouchGraphics.comYes, yes, the name is long but I got it in the beginning when I didn't know any better. Feel free to email me, Saundra. Meanwhile, I'll try to think of some names for your site. I agree with Jane - domains are cheap. I have about 10 for my Rick and June site. Kathy
